I don’t want to appear boastful or too showy. The truth is I have a gift and it's feeling crazy-scary-impossible to get these words out, so I'm just going to tell you before I stop myself.

When you're told repeatedly that you ask stupid questions, that you need to stop showing off, and just go along with the program... you shut parts of yourself down. Here’s what I did to reconnect to the parts of me stuck in the “shoulds”. 

Struggle bus or I got this? When we’ve got a lot on our plate it’s easy to push ourselves to the side and power through, but that’s not sustainable. I was losing my mind and not getting the full recovery time that I needed. But how do I add in more time so I can bounce back?

Not too many, not too few... this "just right" number reduces overwhelm instantly. Learn how to harness it to boost your ADHD productivity.

I resisted posting this because I didn’t wanna upset anyone or think badly of me. But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I had to post this because of all those reasons.

I want something different for next year. I’m not one for setting resolutions, I gave up on them years ago, I don’t really see the point of trying to make a change that won’t stick.

Anxiety is normal, it affects all of us. It’s only a challenge when it debilitates you and stops you from living your life and being the person you secretly want to be. Here’s when I realized that I anxiety is something I experience from time to time, it doesn’t define who I am. 

When a million thoughts pop up each time you want to try something new, about how difficult it’s going to be, allllllll the things that can go wrong, and how you’re just not ready, that’s your reptilian brain at work.

Perfectionism is the bane of my existence and I’m stuck in the procrastination-perfectionism loop!

You might not be aware that you have Strong Woman Syndrome, it’s a side effect of taking the blue pill (that’s not your fault). We are swimming in a culture that condones the beliefs that women don’t matter, don’t deserve time for yourself, and perfectionism is vital to your survival.

When you doubt your inner wisdom, intuition, or gut feelings, you stop yourself from hearing your own brilliance. The question is how do you listen for your brilliant inner wisdom if you’ve been trained to ignore it? (and you have been trained to ignore it, time and time again)

And your reptilian brain does not adapt well to

Feeling stuck, bored, or broken isn't a sign that anything is wrong with you, it's just a sign that you need a change. That change doesn't have to be big or scary, it could be as simple as 

Your thoughts, actions, and feelings all have energy behind them. It can be as simple as a compliment, bringing someone their tea that they left in

Indecision should have been my middle name. It ruled my life to the point that I felt helpless. I was so dependent on the opinions of others that I could

When we give ourselves permission to be curious, we discover that within our normal habits there are things that would benefit us if we changed. And that may sound kind of abstract so let me give you a

I once emailed an acquaintance that I longed to be besties with, asking to hang out, except I didn’t ask to hang out. Instead I went on a diatribe about

Did you know that I’m a nerd? I am, I love star wars, I love spreadsheets, and love solving puzzles! Both the cardboard kind you assemble on the table and like the ones in the video game Myst, (that most folks renamed Pyst because they couldn’t solve those puzzles). That’s the kind of nerd I am.
